Oh, he was so friggin' awesome as the Joker in Batman. It almost seemed like he fit the role a bit too well, you could tell he was having alot of fun with it.

As Good as it Gets is pretty hilarious

[Reply #3 on:]

I do agree with newhook that he did the Joker very well.

"Batman"
"The Shining"
"Mars Attacks"

Why the spoilers, TLL? It's not like his acting career is a secret or anything.

[Reply #6 on:]

My favourite is probably The Shining 

[Reply #7 on:]

Jack Nicholson is one of my favourite actors. I loved him in One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest and The Shining 

[Reply #8 on:]

i only saw One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

[Reply #9 on:]

I like the guy, he's such a stoner. He does look awful in that picture.

My fave appearances are in the Shining, and that movie with the dam in the 50's or 60's.

Uhm ... *searches her list of bad excuses* ... *reads* It has to do with black helicopters, the assasination of Kennedy and those guys in black suits. I'm not allowed to say more.

Honestly: It was nearly 3 a.m., I was totally tired and somehow I thought it's a good idea to use the spoilers.   
Please don't beat me because of that    *hides*

About Schmidt

[Reply #13 on:]

Guys in black suits... you mean ninjas, right?

My favourite Jack movies are: Mars Attacks, Batman, The Shining, One Flew over The Cucoo's Nest, As Good as it Gets.

And he's really funny as well- I read an interview with him and Diane Keaton (reason: Something's Gotta Give) and he was just hilariously funny. Filled with boyish humor.

Indeed, he did fit a bit too well to that role. 


By the way: In wich Futurama episodes was Jack? I remember him in That's Lobstertainment, but I'm sure he was in another episode as well.
Oh, and while we are talking about Futurama: Imagine Jack Nicholson as Nixon's head in a possible Futurama movie. *imagines* hmmm ... 

[Reply #15 on:]

He was excellent in Batman and The Shining. Those roles suited him to the ground

Easy for you to say, but I've heard otherwise from people who've actually seen the movie.

 No, I think "Jack Nicholson's DNA reconstituted in a gorilla" is the only sighting of Jack in Futurama.

[Jack]"You outta your fuckin' mind?"[/Jack]

Nicholson might be good, but Billy West really made Nixon his own in Futurama. It wouldn't be right to strip him of that role for the sake of Jack. 

[Reply #18 on:]

Gotta love him in 'One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest'.
"I tried didn't..I sure as hell can say that".
I know that isn't right.  If a quote nazi could please correct me...

[Reply #19 on:]

I like Nicholson a lot, he's always very funny (on-screen and off-screen) but I think he's not an actor with a very large range. But he was great in The Joker and very entertaining in other movies.

I have not heard of that. Please enlighten me.

It reminds me of the South Park spoof "Fighting around the world", where he literally beats cancer by beating up a cancer patient. Oh the hilarity.

He plays the role Bill Murray played in the film version of the musical play, the machoistic paitent of the sadistic dentist.

[Reply #24 on:]

I just saw Anger Management and he's great in it.

[Reply #25 on:]

I love One Flew Over the Cukoo's Nest so much.

[Reply #26 on:]

Oh, i dunno really. I heard that he lost his rag and beat the crap out of some guy on a golf course in america. But, because of his deep money filled pockets and that grin, it never went to trial. meh, just what i heard.
